Vikings at Packers Week 16 highlights and scoring summary

Packers 38, Vikings 25

:32 left in fourth quarter

Bradford hit Thielen for an 11-yard touchdown giving Thielen 204 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings are still down 13, so the touchdown doesn’t mean a whole lot but the fact that Thielen has had such a great day is kind of what we are going to take away from this because we are positive people.

Bradford hit Diggs for a beautiful over-the-shoulder touchdown in the right side of the endzone. Diggs then threw the ball into the crowd which seemed dumb, but such is life. Kai Forbath missed the extra point, his third of the season.

The Vikings trail by 19, so it really doesn’t change a whole lot.

Rodgers has 292 yards in the air and there’s not a real chance of the Vikings coming back. We are sad and this means Minnesota’s playoff chances are over.

In what looked like a big opportunity for the Vikings, Bradford fumbled after getting rocked thanks to left tackle T.J. Clemmings. In what should have been a field goal or touchdown for the Vikings resulted in a six-yard touchdown run from Rodgers to give the Packers 28(!) points against what was one of the best defenses in the NFL.

The great day for Thielen continues. Bradford hit Thielen for a 71-yard touchdown to get the Vikings back to a one-score game. It was the longest play of the season for the Vikings. Thielen already has six catches for 142 yards. IT’S NOT OVER YET!

With 900 receiving yards, Adam Thielen now leads the Vikings. Has 142 today on six catches.

After center Nick Easton literally rolled the ball to Sam Bradford, resulting in a fumble. The Packers recovered and Rodgers hit Nelson twice for 35 yards (including a 33 yarder when Andrew Sendejo went MIA) and his second touchdown of the day.

Playoffs don’t look like a thing for Minnesota right now.

Through less than 22 minutes of football, Aaron Rodgers is 14/16 for 198 yards and 3 touchdowns. Nelson, 5 catches for 119 and 2 TDs.

The struggling continued for the Vikings on defense. Captain Munnerlyn fell down on a big 48-yard play before Rodgers found Davante Adams wide open for a touchdown. Maybe Adams pushed off, but Rodgers threw the ball right on the money. Man, this is tough to watch.

Thanks to a 22-yard field goal from Kai Forbath, the Vikings narrowed the gap to just four. Adam Thielen was the MVP of the drive, making an incredible sideline catch to put the Vikings at the Green Bay 10. Very Cris Carter-like.

Unfortunately, the Vikings weren’t able to get in the endzone. That’s been the story all season long.

Aaron Rodgers has started the game 9-for-9, Anthony Barr might not even be at the stadium and the Packers and slicing and dicing the Vikings defense. Minnesota had Green Bay at 3rd-and-4 from the 21, but then Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for the 21-yard touchdown to give the Packers the lead.
